I wonder if it would be at all possible that Nike makes a different transmitter that works with the iPhone's bluetooth. I don't see any reason why they couldn't. I guess the only question would be wether or not the market was large enough, but I don't see how it wouldn't be. I'd guess that the number of iPhone owners is pretty close to the number of nano owners when they originally released Nike+.
Got a tip for us?

There was no Nike receiver found in the new iPod Touch. It's likely the bluetooth will perform this function. Assuming this is true:

The iPhone should do the same...

I have 2.1 already. Someone apparently has no hacking skills.
Don't you mean, "Mad hacking skills?"
ALso you should note that I was the one that leaked the first 2.0 image. See thread here.
you could easily post a screen shot showing the version # in settings. That was "pics or it didn't happen"'s meaning.

Well, it was made a cover story. So, I'm not so sure you would get banned (unless you were warned). Possible send the link in as a story tip?
I would actually REALLY like to get ahold of this by tomorrow morning. Why? I live in Houston and we're right in the path of Hurrican Ike...on top of that, I'm a physician and I'm a part of the emergency team at a major hospital in the medical center. I need to show up early tomorrow afternoon and will remain at the hospital through Sunday until relief can safely arrive. My family's already evacuated...but I would like to get 2.1 so this "improved battery life" and (hopefully) decreased crashing can become a part of my iphone--which will be an integral part of my weekend.
Seems like a valid argument to me. So Stevie, go ahead...we're ready.

All it can do is make the battery-draining features more efficient.
So turn off 3G, GPS, wi-fi, and bluetooth. Lower the screen brightness.
There, you now have better battery life than 2.1, I can promise you. You can't get more efficient than "off."
Unless they were really stupid and like didn't dismiss views correctly thus taking up memory...
Or maybe they didn't put the contacts, calendar events, sms, and heck, the keyboard keys in arrays, rather they just allocated 100+ Dictionaries each.
But yeah, it's most likely just management of power rather than actual fixes.
Already do that. Screen brightness is almost slid all the way left. I use the Apps all day long, which = poor poor battery life.
Well, then you're probably out of luck.
I agree with Niiro13 that I may be overlooking some things and battery life WILL improve in other areas. But app-use is not going to be one of those areas. Using the phone that way is always going to take a fair amount of power.
Agreed.
Enigmo, Super Monkey Ball, Texas Hold'em in portrait, Spore, will always rofl battery life.
I only mentioned the first one cause for some reason in my WIP application it won't dismiss the view completely...
What? No, no, no.
I suggest you just keep clicking here all night. I'm sure it'll be worth it!
People, we're dealing with Apple here. Remember? The company that makes new products that aren't compatible with 2 month old products? They are the center of the universe in their minds. The update will drop when they come to work, or about 9am Cupertino time.
